We had a lovely day today. Lovely family day out with my 11 month old and 8 year old niece. Bank holiday Sunday busy but yet not overly was able to get a table for lunch easily. Food was yummy as was our hot drinks. Loved it was all vegan for my dairy allergy baby this was amazing! Animals appear well cared for and friendly. Great information about the animals and if they are friendly / could bite etc. Lovely play park for children everything in bathrooms and restaurant clean and well maintained. Staff friendly and can tell they care for animals. The man in the with the birds was fun. Couldn’t fault it. Reasonably priced even with the event on today which was alot of fun. I read a review that said it is all about animals and not separating you from your money which is so true! A little gem to show your babies cared for animals. Highly recommend and will be back.

Thank you for caring for these wonderful animals, many of whom would usually endure a life of unspeakable suffering, violence and exploitation. There is no place for animal use in modern day. The plant based cafe is varied and very reasonably priced. A great day out for all. It would be powerful to see more references/education to the harms of the animal agriculture industries around the site. ☺️❤️

The Easter Open day event was well organised. The queues weren't too bad either. The place was clean and well maintained and the prices were fair

Lovely little sanctuary, all the animals look very happy and are well catered for. Nice variety to see too and its all about caring for them not using them. The food at the cafe was also well priced amd tasty and the staff were very friendly too. It makes sense that it is all vegan food as its an animal sanctuary....
